Cause For Their Divorce:

A source told,

“The relationship really came apart when Lara was working for ‘The Insider’, and they were living in Los Angeles. She was never home and was always working. David has been the primary caregiver for their two children, and Lara was the primary breadwinner. Even though David comes from old money, Lara earned significantly more. She wore the pants in the relationship.”

Meanwhile, the source claimed,

“Lara has never gotten along with David’s parents, and that also became a big issue.”

Also, the insider claimed that Lara's flirting nature onscreen was too much to handle for her ex-husband.

She was having troubles with her hip for a long time now dealt with excruciating pain because of it. It is because she has a genetic predisposition which will strike when you are younger if you're athletic.
